# I bought a compass.

Still learning how to scan and retouch in Photoshop.

It's more selecting lines and filling colours I can't get my head around.

# I've always found the magic wand to be a bit wild
but I'm obviously using the tolerance badly. Google here I come.

# Duplicate, invert colours, set to overlay
Makes everything look good. If your definition of good is what it comes out as.

edit: hang on, I've misremembered that, it looks shite. Disregard me.

# Veh pretty
Kept me amused for a couple of minutes, working out exactly what you'd done :)

# don't always scan at the highest resolution your scanner lets you..
For a file which is going to be for the web or e-mail,
72 to 96 dpi will be fine.

For printing,
300 dpi should be adequate, but experiment with the same picture at different resolutions.

# I did scan it at 300dpi
which is a bad habit. I'll remember this for the future - thanks! ;)

# 300 dpi is good for intricate things, but it'll hugely increase the files size..so look out for that.
it's all trial and error,

I usually scan and preview before I do anything

Pair of compasses. Unless you hope to navigate by it.

Totally fab, by the way.

You're right of course. If you'd have told me that at school, I'd have tattooed you with it :P
